as sugested above, Rich Products paid $ for naming rights
Mike Stratton blew up Keith Lincoln of the Chargers I believe. He later played for the Bills.

4 has faulty information, Eric. I’ll save the answer, but he does NOT currently play for the Blue Bombers.

Found it – he was released on January 31, 2008, by the Blue Bombers. :)

1 Brad Daluiso
2 Larry Kinnebrew
3 Eugene Marve
4 Kliff Kingsbury

Very good you guys got them all!

Extra credit.
- Rich foods coughed up the money for the stadium naming rights, and that is credited as one of the first such examples of that happening.
- Keith Lincoln was in fact the one who Mike Stratton pounded with the Shot Heard Round The World.

Those where tough, but fair...

Except for Kingsbury! Out of the four guys, no one ever bought a “Kingsbury” Bills jersey. I saw many Marves, a few Kinnebrews, and I may have even seen a Daluiso jersey by some clown, but never, ever, a Kingsbury rag…

I have a question about the “Rich” naming rights – I wonder what was the original tag on that? I’d bet not more than 20 grrr a year; just a guess though.

I found this but it doesn’t say how much they paid. I saw other places that the stadium only cost $22 million to build so I can’t believe it cost Rich foods that much. Maybe they gave Ralph free burgers for life.

If you actually own a Kingsbury jersey...

And he’s not a friend or relative, and if you don’t have it because you lost a bet, I swear I will buy you a six pack of beer, your choice.

No one but his mom, wife/girlfriend, or child (if he has one) owns a Bills Kingsbury jersey.

Quickly – what number?

Please friend – tell me you’re kidding.

Yeah I'm full of it.

I’ll take a rain check on the beer.

Phew..

I’m actually of the “anti-jersey” brigade. I’ve owned two in my life, and one was a gift. Howie Long (gift) and Magic. Every year I contemplate buying a Bills jersey, but it always becomes a chore. (This should actually be a topic for a diary – jerseys). I definitely won’t buy one of these new jerseys. And, I don’t want the jersey of a current player. I don’t want to pick a player from the SB teams, or the nineties, because that would be too cliche for my age. I also can’t pick a guy from the 80’s, because that’s when just about every guy stunk.

I need to find the right player from the 70’s, or even 60’s. It’s not an easy task. I can go on and on about this….

Jerseys

I own 6 (5Bills + 1 Mets) The 5 Bills are Moulds x2 (home and away old style) Spikes x2 (home and away new style) and Milloy new style road jersey. The Mets is Johan Santana.

I’m done buying current players myself. If I was to get one I think a Marty Schottenheimer Old style Bills jersey would be kicka$$. Stratton or Haslett would be great also. Can you tell I like the old time linebackers?

I love jersey discussions.

Counting live here… Kelly, Rob Johnson, Bledsoe, McGahee, Tasker, Moulds, Bruce, Pat Williams, and Posluszny are all Bills jerseys I’ve owned in my short 22 years. Only ever had three non-Bills jerseys: Dominik Hasek, Carmelo Anthony and Donovan McNabb (it’s a SU jersey, not Philly).

Kry, if you’re looking for a jersey that’s not a current player or cliche, a nice tribute would be a #85 bearing the name “Everett”.

Rob Johnson????

I wouldn’t admit that to anybody.

by sireric on Jun 24, 2008 8:01 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

I’m admitting it reluctantly. I forgot one more – Chris Spielman. I’m in double digits.

by Brian Galliford on Jun 24, 2008 8:10 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Spielman was/is a good jersey...

He was the kind of guy you could see playing football in any decade. Class act….

by krytime on Jun 24, 2008 8:14 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

jersey selection is key...

I own far too many Bills jerseys thanks to my superstition of only wearing a current Bills player’s jersey on gameday. I also misfired once on a ridiculous selection:

Jim Kelly (home youth)
Don Beebe (home old style)
Justin Armour (home old style)
Chris Spielman (home old style)
Antowain Smith (away old style)
Jay Riemersma (home new style: 3 sizes too big)
Antoine Winfield (away new style)
Willis McGahee (away new style)
Paul Posluszny (home new style)

I also have an away Albert Pujols and a home Cardinals jersey with the number as “06” and “World Champs” as the name…I will be buried in that jersey.

Never forget 56-10. Revenge.

Johnson??

Psst – don’t tell people that. Throw that hunk of rag away.

Everett would be a nice tribute. But if we’re talking about tributes, Bob Kalsu is the way to go. He’s the original Pat Tillman, with all due respect to any and all present and former members of our armed forces.

by krytime on Jun 24, 2008 8:09 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

I was actually just about to mention Kalsu! Very fitting.

Tom Sestak, Paul Maguire, Butch Byrd would be unique, interesting jerseys. Butch Byrd might have been the best defender not named Bruce Smith in team history.
